Chinese internet goes viral with memes as govt allows street hawkers

Even as street vendors in India vanished overnight due to the ongoing pandemic and lockdown, the last few weeks have seen hawkers and street sellers sprout up in the cities of China.

Previously, hawkers and street vendors weren’t allowed in cities.
